I got myself another present, and it's not even my birthday!
I won the Yahoo Auction on Friday. Paid for it on Monday. The guy sent it with Japan Post's Letterpack 500 (as in 500 yen) from Hokkaido, and it arrived today. All I can say is "wow". Now THAT is what I call fast, super fast.
Considering the distance, that would usually take at least two days back home. It makes me wonder why people send stuff here by Kuroneko Yamato and Sagawa, the "preferred" couriers for Yahoo Auction sellers. They use the same type of tracking as their EMS too. In this case it was accurate enough to let me know it'd arrive today.
My new toy is a Boss PS-6 Harmonist. It's quite a cool box of tricks. Part intelligent pitchshifter, part chorus, and part Whammy.
Why did I get this?
I sent my other multi-effects back home, and now I'm looking into battery-operated, or DC powered stomp boxes for possibly my busking project. I saw a nice shiny 20th anniversary Whammy, but was put off by the AC only requirement, and it's quite pricey for what it is.
I looked around for other alternatives, and this Boss looked like just what I was looking for.
The guy had it marked for free shipping, but after I won the auction admitted he made a mistake :( Still, it looks brand new, save for the slightest bit of dust, and I saved about 4,500 yen off a new one, so I'm pretty pleased. It's a LOT of fun to use.
With my sustainer-equipped Steinberger, I managed to coax some very trippy S-Bend (Whammy) tricks from outer space, and organ-like drones playing three part harmonies on single notes! It's very handy for my White Stripes "7 Nation Army" style bass lines, and Radiohead "Iron Lung" impersonation. The detune is convincing enough to make me not have to buy a Chorus pedal.
I think I'll have to get me some more guitar leads to connect this up to my looper and delay pedals, but I think it's going to take it to the next level!
Speaking of the Echo Park, I gave it a pretty good run through finally, listening to it through my laptop. I'm really digging the "old school" analog repeats, and self-oscillation. I think it sounds amazingly awesome to my bad ears. I wanted to sample some lines for some trip-hop style inspiration.
Only thing I'm not too pleased about is its attitude to batteries. I put a just bought (although a 100 yen shop 9V) battery inside, and I swear after only a couple of minutes it was already saying the battery was low and flashed red! I tried the same "low" battery in the Boss, and it was as happy as a pig in ****. It works fine on my Eneloop power supply though. To you Echo Park users, is this normal battery performance?
I kinda wished I didn't send my Wah home. That's on my next "to get" list. I tried a Behringer Hellbabe, that sounded and felt completely amateur, but a nice and cheap 2,100 yen. The Ibanez Weeping Demon was the second I tried, and it wasn't bad at all. I also liked that it turned on automatically from placing my foot on the pedal. REALLY nice idea. It was 5,980 yen.
I'm thinking of getting a Boss Pw-10 V-Wah. I tried one in Shinjuku and quite liked the variety of wahs, and the univibe. It could double as a dirt box, but I wasn't overly pleased with the overdrives. Anyone want to sell me one cheap?
I can't wait to put all this stuff together. It'll be like the keymaster and gatekeeper getting together for world domination, or something like that. Mmm.. harmonist. I definitely need more "harmony" in my life.

Hey, I just won a Boss PS-5 (predecessor to the Harmonist) on Yahoo. Kind of a coincidence, eh? You can read about it on my blog.
And yeah, the Echo Park eats batteries like a Hummer eats gas.

I tried the PS-5 before I got this one. They're quite similar, but I think Boss refined the effect more aesthetically pleasing to the ear. They were about the same price for me. Very cool. Yahoo Auctions FTW!
You're a bigger gear head than me! I think I'm getting the stomp box addiction. The RC-5 you got is cool, but if you tried a Boomerang you'd want it straight away. Although it doesn't save your loops, you've got more loops to play with, building entire songs on the fly.
Thanks for the Echo Park info. For what it can do, I'm just going to suck it up. I'm glad I got it.

I prefer gearslut or gearwhore (or maybe gear-playa?) to gearhead. Most pedals don't last long on my pedalboard. Everything I buy fills a particular need for a tune/gig, etc. I don't actually want any of it, and am happier with just just a good guitar, cable and amp. Once a piece of gear loses its usefulness, I sell it on Yahoo.

HA! I'm opposite. I can't let go of the stuff I buy. I still have back home an old Roland GP-16, and it took me about 20 years to sell my pointy headstock 80's axes.
I agree that direct to amp always was my favourite tone. I forgot how awesome my ex-JCM800 was until I untethered from the multi-effect. That was one regretful sale.

Hey Jimmy, have you messed with the Super Bend mode on the PS-6? I think want to get rid of my PS-5 because there is time lag and tone loss in T.Arm mode which is my favorite feature. Have you noticed any issues with the PS-6?
- 16 November 2011 at 11:41
- Jimmy In Japan said...
With the bend using the pedal's switcher, the length time could be adjusted. I hooked up an EV-5 I bought that allows you to control it better, and it feels more natural. I don't really notice a lag but I definitely like it a whole lot better than the PS-5.

Health effects of tear gas and pepper spray
From Facing Tear Gas
Although the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) prohibits the use of tear gas and pepper spray in warfare, for domestic policing and related uses by state forces, these chemicals are allowed to be used on people and are labeled as "riot control agents." The CWC stipulates that these chemical weapons must have effects that disappear shortly after exposure, meaning no long-term health effects; however, in a number of cases, researchers have linked the use of tear gas and pepper spray to possible serious illness and death. This research echoes people's stories about tear gas and pepper spray.
In cases of the use of tear gas and pepper spray as the central element of a state offensive against people protesting in the streets and/or expressing their dissent to the conditions in which they live, people who have been assaulted with large amounts of tear gas and pepper spray, sometimes for a prolonged period of time, have reported acute and long-lasting health effects. During times like the 1987 government attack on the people of South Korea during a wave of protests where 351,000 tear gas canisters were used against demonstrators in multiple cities, or the massive use of tear gas in Quebec City in Canada in 2001 during the Free Trade Area of the Americas protests, or with the near-daily use of tear gas against people in struggle in Bahrain, Egypt, and Palestine, again in multiple cities/towns, people have reported severe health problems. In the case of Bahrain, Egypt, and Palestine, there have been many reported deaths (54 in Bahrain alone since 2011) due in some cases to tear gas canisters (the most common being CS gas) being fired at a high velocity as projectile weapons, though in other cases it is due to the exposure to the gas itself.
Experiences reported beyond the immediate effects of the tear gas include coughing, shortness of breath, and other lung-related problems (heighted in people who already have lung problems), delayed menstruation, and reports of miscarriages and stillbirths associated with the gas. These effects have also been reported in research studies, along with reports that tear gas can also cause damage to the heart and liver. In the case of pepper spray, deaths have similarly been reported (mostly in jails and prisons) due to exposure to pepper spray that is well over the "recommended" amount from the manufacturer and is used in an enclosed space and/or over prolonged periods of time. One infamous news story from 1995 reports the LA Police Department as admitting that, over a 5-year period, 61 people died while in police custody as the result of the use of pepper spray. Again, prior lung problems heighten the danger of this chemical weapon. There have been few research studies of the health effects of pepper spray, which means there is much less documentation of its longer-term effects beyond those cases of death which sometimes become public. Many continue to call for more clinical research studies about the health effects of pepper spray and tear gas. (more…)

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
WASHINGTON • The constitutional win for President Barack Obama and Democrats on health care overhaul is reopening political cuts within the party over the unpopular law.
Four months to an election with control of Congress in the balance, the Supreme Court's affirmation of the law left several Democrats insisting that the issue was settled and it's time to focus on jump-starting a sluggish economy.
Other Democrats saw the newfound attention as a chance to reset the debate and make a fresh case for the law's more popular elements, especially as 12.8 million Americans start getting health insurance rebate checks in the coming months.
The most vulnerable Democratic incumbents and challengers Montana Sen. Jon Tester and North Dakota's Heidi Heitkamp among them cautiously welcomed the court's judgment but argued that the law could be improved.
Even before Obama signed the landmark measure in March 2010, Republicans were unified in opposition and clear in their message: repeal and replace. The White House and divided Democrats have been frustrated in trying to explain and sell the law to a skeptical public in a sharp contrast to the GOP. The court's decision was a reminder of political reality.
Two years ago, grass-roots outrage over health care contributed to the Democrats losing the House majority and seven Senate seats. Republicans and outside groups promise more of the same in the campaign slog to November.
The court has "done a favor" for Republicans, freshman Rep. Allen West of Florida, who owes his seat in part to that anger, said in an interview. "Why would the Obama administration and Democrats want the pre-eminent issue of 2010 to be the pre-eminent issue of 2012?"
Conservative leader Richard Viguerie said the court's decision has raised that anger to "a revolutionary fervor that will sweep President Obama and many other Democrats from office." The Tea Party Express appealed to its supporters for money and backing to defeat Obama and "a liberal U.S. Senate that have foisted Obamacare down our throats." Outside groups, both parties and candidates have been furiously fundraising off the ruling.
In North Dakota, Crossroads GPS launched an ad Friday that calls out Heitkamp, the Democratic Senate candidate, for her support of the law and contends that it raises taxes and expands regulations. Crossroads GPS is the conservative-leaning group tied to former President George W. Bush's longtime political director, Karl Rove.
Looking to finesse a difficult issue, Heitkamp has been airing an ad that argues for the law in personal terms.
"I'm Heidi Heitkamp and 12 years ago, I beat breast cancer," she says. "When you live through that, political attack ads seem silly."
The former state attorney general, who is locked in a close race with Republican Rep. Rick Berg, said the bill has its good and bad points and needs to be fixed but that she would never deny coverage to seniors.
In suburban Chicago, Democratic candidate Tammy Duckworth said that as a survivor of a health crisis, she understands the importance of affordable health care. Duckworth, who piloted a Black Hawk helicopter in Iraq, lost both legs when her aircraft was hit in 2004.
She highlighted the popular elements of the law banning denial of coverage for people with pre-existing medical conditions, allowing children to stay on their parents' insurance until age 26, and reducing seniors' Medicare prescription drug costs by closing the "donut hole." But Duckworth complained about the law's "unfair burden on employers, especially our small businesses," and promised to address the issue if she ousts first-term Republican Rep. Joe Walsh.
Public opposition to the health care law remains high: 47 percent of respondents in a recent Associated Press-GfK poll said they oppose the law while 33 percent said they support it. Thirteen percent said they are neutral. Those who strongly oppose the legislation also outnumber those who strongly support it, 32 percent to 17 percent, about a 2-to-1 margin.
Critical to both parties, just 21 percent of independents support it, the lowest level of support the AP-GfK poll has recorded on the issue.
Much of the polling does find strong support for individual elements, like allowing young adults to remain on their parents' plan to age 26. Some Democrats see that as an opening to reframe the debate.
"I see this as a huge moment for us," Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said in an interview. "Now that the benefits are kicking in, it's a lot easier to explain it."
Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, said the court's ruling lifts a cloud of uncertainty.
"Now the American people are going to say, 'Now what's in that for me?'" Harkin said. "As long as Democrats are willing to go out there and positively say, 'Look, now you are guaranteed that you will get affordable health insurance if you had breast cancer in the past ... preventive care, free mammograms. ... And they (Republicans) want to take it away from you. You have it now and they want to take it away from you. If you want it taken away from you, you just go ahead and vote for them.'"
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., the presidential nominee in 2004, said Democrats need to seize the chance.
"I think it's very important to do what wasn't done sufficiently before," Kerry said.
The Republican response? Bring it on.
The court ruling gave clarity to the GOP call for repeal electing Republican candidates in November is the only way now to ensure the law's demise. In a fundraising appeal within hours of the court announcement, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said, "Now we know four seats to repeal Obamacare," a reference to the net number that the GOP needs to seize the Senate majority.
Republicans also used the ruling to craft a new attack line. Chief Justice John Roberts' majority opinion said the law's requirement that Americans purchase health care is a tax, which Republicans argued contradicted Obama and Democrats who insist they aren't raising taxes on the poor and middle class.
"The court blew the president's cover," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said.
The tax debate will be at the forefront when the House votes the week of July 9 to overturn the law, a largely symbolic step with a Democratic-controlled Senate but one that will put Democrats and Republicans on record and provide fodder for the campaign.
Associated Press writer Andrew Taylor contributed to this report.

From The New York Times:
EVEN in a culture in which sex toys are a booming business and Oprah Winfrey discusses living your best life in the bedroom, a coed live-in commune dedicated to the female orgasm hovers at the extremes.
The founder of the One Taste Urban Retreat Center, Nicole Daedone, sees herself as leading "the slow-sex movement," one that places a near-exclusive emphasis on women's pleasure — in which love, romance and even flirtation are not required.
"In our culture, admitting our bodies matter is almost an admission of failure," said Ms. Daedone, 41, who can quote the poet Mary Oliver and speak wryly on the intricacies of women's anatomy with equal aplomb. "I don't think women will really experience freedom until they own their sexuality."

The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is Ferrari's latest front-engine, rear-wheel-drive 12-cylinder exotic sports car. It gets its name from a combination of its engine displacement of 5,999cc, "Gran Turismo Berlinetta," which is Italian for "grand touring hardtop" and Ferrari's test track in Fiorano Modenese, Italy. The new-for-2011 GTO version of the 599 means "Gran Turismo Omologato" or "grand touring homologated." In useful vernacular, it means "hard-core, track-ready version of 599."
Much of the 599's chassis utilizes a light yet strong all-aluminum space frame construction. Extra effort went into the 599's weight optimization, with the car's mass being centralized for better handling responsiveness. Some design elements are similar to those of the now-discontinued 612 Scaglietti, but cues specific to the 599, such as rising haunches, flying-buttress roof pillars and an assortment of air intakes and extractors give the 599 its own unique look.
Current Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
Powered by a retuned version of the V12 engine found in the old F1-inspired Ferrari Enzo, the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano produces 612 horsepower and 448 pound-feet of torque. Ferrari claims the car can go from zero to 60 mph in less than 3.7 seconds, with a top speed of around 205 mph. The GTO, meanwhile, gets a 671-hp version of the same engine.
While a traditional six-speed manual transmission is standard on the GTB, most come with Ferrari's "F1 SuperFast" six-speed sequential-shift manual gearbox (it's standard on the GTO). With it, drivers can choose a fully automatic shifting mode or manually select gears via steering-wheel-mounted paddles. This makes for incredibly rapid shifts, but it can be jerky around town and is prone to smoking its clutch when starting on a hill.
A sophisticated suspension system uses magnetic dampers that firm up in milliseconds in response to aggressive cornering, yet soften up for relaxed highway cruising. Even the track-ready GTO is surprisingly comfortable. The 599 also uses carbon-ceramic brakes and the "F1-Trac" traction control system that was supposedly tuned with help from world-famous F1 racecar driver Michael Schumacher. For that extra bit of performance, the GTB's optional Handling Gran Turismo Evoluzione (HGTE) adds stiffer suspension tuning, a lower ride height, a unique high-performance tire compound, quicker gearchanges, sharpened throttle response and a throatier exhaust note.
Inside the cabin, the well-shaped seats are sporty and supportive. Premium leather and aluminum accents enrich the ambience. An optional carbon-fiber steering wheel uses integrated LEDs that move in lockstep with engine revs. Drivers can adjust the car's many interactive systems (such as stability control, suspension settings and F1-gearbox response) via a knob on the steering wheel called the "manettino" -- Italian for "little manager." The Bose sound system features surround sound, satellite radio, a hard-drive-based navigation system, Bluetooth, iPod connectivity and a USB port. However, the car's many controls are starting to show their age.
The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano's performance is undeniably thrill-inducing. The car remains so flat and glued to the road while cornering that there is practically no body roll, tire squeal or sliding. Still, the 599's steering leaves a bit to be desired -- it's too light at ultra-high speeds, and the ratio also seems a touch slow for an exotic sports car, as tight cornering requires more hand movement than we'd expect. This is, of course, incredibly relative and a non issue for the HGTE-equipped car or the GTO.
Used Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
The 599 GTB Fiorano debuted for the 2007 model year. Besides the introduction of the HGTE package for 2009 and the GTO for '11, only minor changes have been undertaken. The carbon-ceramic brakes became standard in 2010, along with a navigation system, rear parking sensors and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

I Can Has $30M: LOLcats Become Funny Business
Would the thought of investing $30 million in a set of WordPress blogs and tools for captioning pictures of cats make you laugh out loud? That's what Foundry Group, Madrona Venture Group, Avalon Ventures and SoftBank Capital have done, putting together the first institutional funding for Cheezburger, the LOLcat and Fail Blog publisher.
Cheezburger was founded in 2007 by Ben Huh, who raised $2.25 million from angel investors at the time to buy the blog "I Can Has Cheezburger." Huh has run the company as a lean, profitable operation since then, with 50 employees based in Seattle.
"This is a company that's borne of no one's expectations, and we're totally fine with that," Huh said in an interview Monday, admitting that, yes, "it's a cat-picture Web site."
Huh said Cheezburger had fended off multiple funding offers throughout the years, but finally decided to call back some VCs this fall. "If you're going to do something, you might as well do it well," he explained.
Today the ad-supported Cheezburger network of humor sites has 375 million page views and 110 million video views per month, with its 16.5 million visitors uploading 500,000 pictures and videos.
"We're not here to flip," said Huh, explaining that the company will use its $30 million to ensure it creates a long-term viable business. He said Cheezburger would open up 18 new job listings Tuesday alongside the funding announcement. Huh said his goal is to build "the Disney of the 21st century."

The studio returns with a fresh adventure, Fish Out of Water, a charming title that should easily hook players with its clever mechanics.
The premise behind Fish Out Of Water is simple: players must toss a trio of fish across the ocean as far as possible while picking up as many skips along the surface of the water.
There are six fish to choose from, from fast dolphins to large whales. Some fish are better at skipping on top of the water, while others can travel great distances, so players must choose carefully the best group to work with. For example, dolphins glide along the water for long stretches, while a sleek, red fish called Rocket can rack up several skips in one trip.
After a trio of fish are tossed, a group of crab judges scores the player's performance based on distance and skips. Judges have varying personalities, so one judge might score more highly for more skips, while another judge is harsh in scoring unless a player performs a spectacular effort.
The mechanics of Fish Out Of Water are very simple. Players tap and hold the touchscreen to grab a fish, then swipe right to toss. Players can pick up gold orbs along the path to fill a boost meter to gain some extra distance. Elements such as weather or schools of jellyfish can impede progress, so players must carefully decide how to toss their fish.
Players upgrade to higher levels by performing in-game objectives, and each level nets gems that fuse together and create power-ups such as bonus distance or more favorable scores from judges. Players can also create or join Leagues with friends and compete as a team, so long as they log in through Facebook or Google+.
Like Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride, Fish Out Of Water is an addictive, entertaining mobile game. The mechanics are simple, but have enough depth to keep players pushing to get better.

La Liga: Real Madrid profit as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid drop points
Real Madrid were the big winners as Primera Division title rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid dropped points.
Last Updated: 19/01/14 11:25pm
Madrid, 5-0 winners against Real Betis on Saturday, are now just a point off the top two after Barca were surprisingly held 1-1 at Levante and Atletico drew by the same scoreline against Sevilla at the Vicente Calderon.
Barcelona dropped points for only the fourth time this season after Levante went ahead in the 10th minute through Loukas Vyntra's headed goal.
Barca were quickly back on level terms thanks to Gerard Pique's close-range header nine minutes later, but Levante defended in numbers after that and frustrated their visitors' efforts to grab a winner.
After seeing Barca held in an earlier kick-off, Atletico then passed up a glorious opportunity to go top the pile.
David Villa's goal after 18 minutes put Diego Simeone's side on their way to victory but they failed to build on their lead and were punished when Juanfran brought down Carlos Bacca in the area, allowing Ivan Rakitic to level on 73 minutes.
Villarreal moved into fourth place thanks to a 2-0 victory over struggling Almeria.
Ikechukwu Uche scored the opening goal in the third minute with Bruno Soriano making sure of the win with a late penalty after Jonathan Pereira was brought down by Rafita.
Getafe fought their way back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Real Sociedad and even survived playing the final half-hour with 10 men.
Two headed goals from Imanol Agirretxe gave the Basque side an early lead but the hosts responded with goals by Ciprian Marica and Pedro Leon.
Borja Fernandez was sent off in the second half for picking up two yellow cards but La Real were unable to take advantage.

The post-race sauna and making new friends with some reindeer might have helped but really we came to realise our connection is rooted in our shared passion for sport and the outdoors.
"Meeting outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world and learning their stories and sharing our passion for different sports was truly inspiring." -Philipp Reiter, trail runner and photographer, Germany (Image by Oskar Henriksson)
"The Suunto Summit was a great experience that felt like i was a part of a family with a shared passion for the outdoors." -Arnau Martorell Sala, Spain
"The summit brought a whole new, and overwhelming sense of joy to meet so many open and strong athletic women who are excited to get out there. It was comforting to not feel alone or intimidated." Mia Morandi, USA.
"Listening to all the experiences of my fellow Suunto Summiteers has left me inspired and completely in awe…and mingling with the team behind Suunto was absolutely invaluable. It has been such a privilege to be here." -Ramon Fadli, Malaysia.
"Bravo! I've loved Suunto 20 years, I love you even more…" -Barbara Edelston Peterson, USA
"It really has been a unique experience and a wonderful opportunity to meet the people at the heart of Suunto and to leave Helsinki feeling part of the family. Thank you all, you guys rock!" -Tim Major, UK
We are grateful to have shared the experience with such an incredible group, and agree with one of our participants, Pelle Nyberg, from Sweden, that the "Suunto Summit captures the essence of the community."

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The company behind several area charter schools has finally released information about staff salaries requested by several media outlets including WWAY, but still has not released information about administrator pay.
In a release today, Charter Day School, Inc., which is run by Roger Bacon Academy, released the pay of each member of its staff, which includes Charter Day School in Leland, Columbus Charter School in Whiteville and Douglass Academy in Wilmington, though it does not explain who works at what school. The company recently released budget totals for salaries, but refused to release individual information claiming it does maintain such a list and was not required to compile it under state law.
Earlier this spring, the state Director of Charter Schools told charter school operators they must comply with state open record laws, just like any other public school, or risk losing their charter. Charter schools are run by private entities with public money.
"CDS believes this disclosure allows media outlets to get beyond the harmful fixation on the salaries of our dedicated, skilled staff and to report the real story of how Charter Schools like CDS use less taxpayer funds while obtaining better student outcomes than traditional schools," CDS said in its release.
Click here to see the information CDS released
The list of salaries show most of the teachers are paid $30,800, which is what the state currently pays public school teachers who have a bachelor's degree with zero to five years experience. While the information CDS provided shows each teacher's hire date, it does not explain each teacher's level of experience, which can be accrued at other schools. Local school districts also have the ability to pay a stipend to help increase teacher salaries.
When it released limited salary data earlier this month, CDS said in a statement that state law exempted it from most of the same requirements of a public school district. However, media outlets continued to complain to state regulators, who ordered the company to release its detailed salary information by June 27. CDS, though, says it was motivated by proposed legislation working its way through the legislature.
"Change in the disclosure law is coming, and CDS will continue to be fully compliant when overseeing its charter schools," CDS Board of Trustees Chairman John Ferrante said in the company's statement. "This detailed disclosure required by the new law will, once and for all, resolve any outstanding requests or complaints."
It does not.
WWAY in its original request for salary data also asked for that of administrators for CDS schools. We have reiterated to the company our request for that information, which is also, we believe, part of the public record.
WWAY and other media outlets across the state have requested salary information from charter schools in an effort to facilitate transparency regarding the spending of public funds as is required of public school districts.

Gary Friedrich vs. Marvel: is Ghost Rider in the Public Domain?
In 2007 comic book writer Gary Friedrich sued Marvel, Columbia Pictures, Sony and a long list of other companies over ownership of "Ghost Rider", comic book character he created, with art by Mike Ploog, that appeared first on Marvel Spotlight #5, in 1972.
Ploog had been hired by Marvel to draw Friedrich's creation: according to Friedrich, he gave Ploog indications on how the character should have looked, thus making Friedrich more than a "co-creator" of the character. This was reflected in the original comic book credits:
Friedrich claimed ownership of the character that has supposedly "reverted" to him in 2001. This meant particularly getting a fair share of royalties from movie adaptations of the character. Marvel countersued in 2010 since Friedrich was selling Ghost Rider merchandising online and at comic book conventions.
Finally, Friedrich had to apparently surrender to Marvel last year, being ordered to pay $17,000 in damages to the publisher, renouncing to further advertising himself as Ghost Rider creator and stopping the sale of any related merchandise.
One year later, it seems Friedrich's case will go back to trial: on June 11, 2013, Second Circuit Court of Appeals judge Denny Chin overturned the original decision:
The district court held as a matter of law that plaintiff-counter-defendant-appellant Gary Friedrich assigned any rights he retained in the renewal term of the 1972 Ghost Rider copyrights to the predecessor of defendant-counter-claimant-appellee Marvel Characters, Inc. in a 1978 form work-for-hire contract. We conclude that – 4 –the contract language is ambiguous and that genuine disputes of material fact, as to the parties' intent and other issues, preclude the granting of judgment as a matter of law.
While judge Chin made interesting statements about the contract language and the fact that a 1978 work-for-hire contract could regulate something that had been created and published 6 years before, it seems something is still missing in all this absurd story.
Judge Chin also says:
The first Ghost Rider comic was published in Marvel Spotlight, Vol. 1, No. 5 ("Spotlight 5") in April 1972, bearing a copyright notice in favor of "Magazine Management Co., Inc. Marvel Comics Group."
Here is a scan of the copyright notice on the first page of the comic book:
Before 1989, the U.S., a missing (or wrong) copyright notice would have meant instantly falling into the public domain.
All sorts of popular works, from "Night of the Living Dead" to adult movie "Debbie Does Dallas" suffered issues like that.
The comic book had a copyright notice, at least.
But in those days, before copyright law changed in 1978 and the old 28-years renewal system disappeared, Copyright Office registration was mandatory.
Searching for post-1978 copyrighted works today is easy: it just requires a visit to Copyright.gov's search page.
Searching for older works or their renewal notices is often more difficult. But it does not require physically visiting some office in the U.S.; many of the records are carefully scanned and archived at Archive.org.
By searching the catalogues at Internet Archive, what we get is the "Catalog of Copyright Entries: Third Series, Volume 26, Part 2" containing records about "Periodicals, January—December 1972".
Here is the relevant info about Marvel Spotlight:
MARVEL SPOTLIGHT. © Magazine Management
Co., Inc., Marvel Comics Group,
v.l, no .
3, May72. © 23Nov71; B718327-

6, 0ct72. © 27Jun; B767424.
7, Dec72. © 22Aug; B779223-
Marvel Spotlight #5 was never properly filed with the Copyright Office, and thus never properly copyrighted.
Let's move onto the previously mentioned Copyright.gov.
In 2007, Gary Friedrich tried to file a renewal to the Ghost Rider issue:
Type of Work: Text
Registration Number / Date: RE0000929199 / 2007-02-26
Renewal registration for: Not reg.; addedendum submitted under PL
Title: Ghost rider.
Series: Marvel spotlight ; vol. 1, no. 5
Copyright Claimant: Gary E. Friedrich (A)
Copyright Note: C.O. correspondence.
Names: Friedrich, Gary E.
Normally, a renewal request carries the number of a previous copyright registration: it basically says you are applying to extend copyright of a certain work.
Note the absurd line: "Renewal registration for: Not reg.". There is no number here.
How could one "renew" something that was never registered in first place? And why "renew" it since no renewal was necessary under the current American copyright law?
Three years later, in 2010, even Marvel tried to "renew" something that could not be renewed, filing this:
Type of Work: Text
Registration Number / Date: RE0000931110 / 2010-12-13
Renewal registration for: Not reg.; Addendum submitted under PL
Title: Marvel Spotlight. Vol. 1, no. 5, Aug. 1972 / Artwork & text
for cover and interior story pages, including the Ghost Rider logo on
the cover by Magazine Management Company, Inc.
Copyright Claimant: Marvel Characters, Inc. (PWH)
Names: Magazine Management Company, Inc.
Marvel Characters, Inc.
They don't even seem to agree on the date of publication. Both renewal requests mention "PL 102-307". It stands for Public Law 102-307, Copyright Amendments Act of 1992.
Among other provisions, this law says:
Any copyright, the first term of which is subsisting on January 1, 1978, shall endure for 28 years from the date it was originally secured.
This means no renewal is needed, provided you have "secured" a copyright, originally, and it was still effective on January 1, 1978. But nowhere it says you could recreate a copyright for something that was not properly registered.
Finally, the fact that the work-for-hire contract between Marvel and Friedrich was signed AFTER January 1, 1978 might create further argument for a funny "legal short circuit".
Let's go back for a moment to the attempts Friedrich and Marvel did at registering the work with the Copyright Office. Let's say their lawyers might argue: okay, if we could not renew, we could still be registering a new copyright.
Good idea. But the timeframe to do so, according to the current U.S. copyright law, ended in year 2000.
As we saw, Marvel Spotlight #5 appeared in 1972 and had a copyright notice in favor of Magazine Management co.; according to Circular 22 ("How to Investigate the Copyright Status of a Work", rev.02/2013, page 3) issued by the Copyright Office,
"Works published with notice prior to 1978 may be registered at any time within the first 28-year term".
A couple other facts on the "Ghost Rider" copyright and trademark:
– Marvel recycled a public domain character that originally belonged to Magazine Enterprises, after the original copyright and trademark had lapsed. The Marvel version, later renamed "Phantom Rider" after the appearance of Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider in 1972, was co-created by Gary Friedrich, Roy Thomas and Dick Ayers. The name Phantom Rider wasn't exactly original, too.
– In 1971, Gary Friedrich created a vigilante motorcyclist character called Hell-Rider, that appeared in two 64-page issues for defunct Skywald Publications. it also seems nobody registered it with the Copyright Office. Neither before 1978, nor within the following 28 years timeframe. Oh well.
Confused? I am too.
In conclusion, Marvel, Sony, Columbia and others may not have to pay millions in royalties to Mr. Friedrich. But surely I don't see why he should be paying damages to anyone for reusing a Public Domain character.
p.s.: free legal advice. In a somewhat similar case, porn movie distributors VCX and Arrow settled out of Court, before a judge could state what the rest of the world already knows (and another judge actually stated in part at the end of the 1980s). That the works they were fighting for, had fallen in the Public Domain.

Greetings! New to this forum, first time posting. =)
I'm currently trying to make a log-in or check-in system, it's meant to be able to allow users to log in, log out, and for there to be logs of the date and time the users did this. Issue being that I have never made anything like it before so it's a nice little project where I try to learn as much as possible as I go along.
Now the current issue that I am having is that I'm terrible with all forms of coding which involves sending data from one class to the other, and that is exactly the problem I am having right now. I have a mainframe.java class which contains all of the GUI, basic JFrame with a couple of JButtons, some text and the like.
When I press the button "Add Member" currently a JOptionPane.showInputDialog shows up, and I can type in the name of the user. However, this is where I really don't know how to proceed, I have a Member.java class I want to use for keeping track of all of the separate members/users, but I do not know how to send over the data, store it properly, and then call for the respective user whenever I need to refer to it (for example when he/she logs out).
This is the code for when a button is pushed, and it checks that Add Member is the right one:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { int i = 0; int i2 = 1; boolean cancel = false; if(e.getSource() == AMB) { while(cancel == false) { if(members[i] == "") { i2 = i+1; //***This is where I want to send the information to the members class to be stored for overall usage of the new user. //Members.class name = new class(arguments); = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Adding member:"); This is a failure of an attempt of me trying to at the very least send over the name... if(members[i] == null) { members[i] = ""; //In case no name is written, this makes sure that the array slot stays empty for reuse } cancel = true; }
(I skipped the rest because my post was denied when trying to post too much code, so I only posted the most essential bit and if there is anything else in the code that you would like me to post for further clarification feel free to ask.)
And this is the Members.java class:
package LoginSystem; public class Members { String name; int lastLoggedIn; public Members (String Name, int logIn) { lastLoggedIn = logIn; name = Name; } }
Very basic so far since I don't really know how to flesh it out.
I'm sorry that I can't post much of what I've tried, but that's mostly because I have no idea of what to try or where to find information of what I could try. I have tried to search around for answers but to no success. =/
Any help, be it tips, pointers or just general advice in how to proceed would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards, Lora.

this is a request for comments not on how to include an exe as a resource inside another win32 exe/dll, but rather on how to execute it from memory without a dump on disk. I perfectly know how to handle resources, embed, extract and so on, but the problem is the way I want to launch the hidden exe, without disk dumps..
For the dlls there's the solution I also documented here (http://www.accessroot.com/arteam/site/download.php?view.103), using which you can launch a dll directly from the memory. But what happens for the exe files? I would need something similar to CreateProcessfromMemory().
Is there something similar around? I mean something ready, not implying modifications on my code (which would take time I don't have).

The biggest event of this year's 65th anniversary of the Nakba (Arabic for the catastrophe) took place outside of Damascus Gate in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem. Over 500 Palestinians and pro-Palestinian activists gathered for the remembrance, a tribute which was marred by clashes that erupted between Palestinians and the Israeli army and border police, as the later attempted to bring the demonstration to a close.
25 demonstrators were detained and several injured as a result of a confrontation that started as Israeli army and police attempted to contain the progress of the Palestinian parade that had stopped directly outside the Israeli police station in East Jerusalem. Two policemen and at least two ultra-Orthodox men were injured during the confrontation as well.
Israeli mounted police prevented the demonstrators from continuing on their way through East Jerusalem, enacting an aggressive chase against the demonstrators instead. Police on foot directed a water canon at the marchers in order to fragment the group up.
For over three hours, Damascus Gate (the main entry to the Old City) and the adjoining streets were the scene of unusually intense clashes. Stun grenades, tear gas and water cannons were used as suppressive measures by the Israeli forces in attempt to bring the demonstration to an end. Palestinians and their supporters responded by throwing stones and bottles.
"We have been here for 65 years and each year our situation is getting worse," regrets Ibrahim, originally from Beit Safafa, an Arab neighborhood in southern Jerusalem.
He explains how some Palestinians were prevented to enter in the Old City through Damascus Gate during the morning, several hours prior to the commemorative event. "You are a terrorist…You will create problems," were some of the words spit out by the Israeli soldiers who guarded Damascus Gate throughout the day.
Some surprised tourists received a quick history lesson by an old Palestinian man who was lazing around. After the explanation, he concluded, "Even though we have a set date, for us Nakba is everyday."
Palestinian demonstrators and their supporters were demonstrating in demand for the Right of Return for the almost 6 millions of Palestinians refugees created since May 15, 1948, the date of the original Nakba.

Shooting victim remembered as one who sought to help others
Susan Choucroun among 3 people killed in Woodbridge shootings
Susan Choucroun, 69, one of three people killed in the shootings on Woodbridge Lane in south Kansas City Tuesday, was remembered as someone who always helped others.
People who knew her said she was a civic activist who always rooted for the underdog. They said it wouldn't surprise them a bit to find out she was coming to someone's aid when she was shot.
Choucroun helped to create an action group, More Squared, which has provided computers to students, among other things.
Rabbi Scott White said she and Choucroun shared many good times together over the past decade.
"She was a dear friend. She and I would go for lunch once a month," White said. "Her mother recently passed away at 98 and we'd go visit her after lunch. She had a great sense of humor, very passionately involved in our congregation and in Jewish tradition."
Her husband owns a hair salon in Prairie Village, Kansas. People who work at a neighboring dog grooming business said the news of Susan Choucroun's death is jaw-dropping.
"What is the world coming to? People in a quiet neighborhood just minding their own business," said Bobbi Bedworth.
"It's an eruption of evil in our community, I mean these are people who lost their lives in an instant and will be deeply missed and you hate to see things like this happen and we hope they never will again," said White. "But unfortunately, we know that's not going to be the case."
Choucroun's husband wasn't home when the shootings happened. He spent the day Wednesday making arrangements for her funeral.
Brandon Howell has been charged with first-degree murder in Choucroun's death and in the deaths of Darrel and Lorene Hurst. According to court records, Howell opened fire after he was seen trying to steal a car in the neighborhood.

If you're looking for an easy way to make your own (kid's) leggings, I highly recommend you grab this pattern. You can find it in Andrea's pattern shop, Go To Patterns
Leggings – Go To Patterns
We loooooove leggings around here. The girls grab leggings most days, they wear them with dresses, tunics, tshirts, under skirts and shorts, with leotards. Nothing can compete with the ease and comfort of leggings for children's wear. I've noticed a lot of people making leggings by tracing a pair from the dresser drawer, and I used this method for Olivia's 80s outfit back during Project Run and Play, with okay results. But, I've really been wanting a pattern, so there's no guess work involved and I have all the girls' sizes in one place, with clear instructions so that I don't screw up and waste fabric. Last week, Andrea from Go To Patterns released a new sewing pattern, the Go To Leggings. Brilliant! I printed out the PDF pattern, taped it together, and traced the size 3T onto my handy freezer paper. I took Addie out to my stash of knits in the garage and she immediately picked this bright pink (shocker) Karavan stretch cotton jersey knit. (This pattern is Savannah Honey and this line has the cutest elephant prints and some great blue patterns, too.) I got mine from Fabric.com.
So, the Go To Leggings pattern has a bunch of finishing options, including varied lengths, bows, peek-a-boo holes, and even a built-in skirt! I wanted to try the ruching option and love the finished result. Once I ironed the freezer paper onto the fabric and started cutting, the whole process was done and on Addie within 40 minutes. I used my regular sewing machine for the whole thing. I'm on the hunt for some more fabric to make leggings in every color. Love these!

Apple has sold 8.75 million iPhones in the March quarter, a 131 per cent year on year increase, with Mac sales also going through the roof in the company's most profitable non-holiday quarter of all time.
With iPhone leakage and criticisms of the iPad, it hasn't been the finest month for Apple, but the financial results will ease the pain - bringing $3.07 billion (£1.99bn) in profit and strong revenue forecasts for the summer.
The increase in iPhone sales is being attributed to global success in key markets, with the popular handset continuing its merry path at a sprint.
iPod down, Mac up
iPod sales were slightly down, but still at 10.89 million units sold and sales of Mac computers were up by a third on the same period last year up to 2.9 million.
It's hugely encouraging news from Apple, and the company confidently told the financial markets that the next quarter would bring a projected revenue of $13 to $13.4 billion.
As you may imagine, Apple stock has been given a major boost by the news, and the next quarter will, of course, include iPad sales.
With the US stocks selling so fast it delayed the UK launch, you can't imagine that Apple is going to be running out of petty cash any time soon.

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by looking back at a great football moment in Tennessee State history.
In 1970, the Tigers finished the regular season undefeated and earned a trip to the Grantland Rice Bowl in Baton Rouge, La.
TSU went to battle against Southwestern Louisiana, which was in essence an away game for the Tigers, and came out with the narrowest victory in school-history-26-25.
The Tigers had the legendary Joe Gilliam Jr. as the team's quarterback and he had one of his finest seasons, throwing for over 1,500 yards on the year.
The offense also had Alfred Reese and David Davis who each had eight touchdowns (Reese had his running while Davis' were receiving touchdowns).
The team also had three players get drafted by the National Football League after the season ended in Joe Jones, Claude Brumfield and Charles Williams. Jones was drafted in the second round while Brumfield was taken in the fifth. Miami selected Williams in the 16th round.
There were also six All-Americans on the 1970 team. In addition to Davis and Gilliam, tackles Vernon Holland and Asbury Glover were selected to the team on offense. On defense, corner Freddie Herring and linebacker Rodger Sims earned the honor.
With a win in the Rice Bowl, coach John Merritt led TSU to a school-record 11 wins and then TSU repeated as champs in 1971.
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.

One of the very few X38 boards to feature solely DDR2 slots, Asus' Maximus is otherwise fully tricked out in the standards of its Republic of Gamers brand.
That means more rear connections than anyone else, water-cooling-compatible northbridge sinks, all available BIOS options open, a rear switch for clearing the CMOS and micro-switches for power and reset buttons, so you can tinker before putting the front panel connectors on.
Pricey choice
It's an impressive list, and the Maximus comes close to the top of the table in performance.
The problem is that it leads everyone else by price. It's a finely engineered board, but we couldn't realistically find a difference in overclocking performance between this and some of its rivals.
As much as we like that rear CMOS clear, it's not enough to win the test.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee's major overhaul yields positive results
Jeep never stays in its own lane.
That's not only a consequence of its characteristic off-road capabilities. It also describes the company's approach to vehicle development.
A case in point is the 2014 Grand Cherokee, which has been subjected to an unusually comprehensive mid-cycle overhaul.
Because a fickle buying public quickly becomes blase about any new vehicle, manufacturers try to inject a dose of newness half way through a model's life cycle. Often it consists of little more than a couple of sheet metal changes, additional colors or different equipment packages identified by a new model designation.
But the 2014 Grand Cherokee goes beyond that. There are interior changes that include a new steering wheel, revamped center stack with new touch screens, standard paddle shifters and a programmable instrument cluster.
Outside tweaks include bigger taillights with light emitting diodes, LED running lights, restyled grille, dual exhaust pipes and a larger rear spoiler.
That's the usual mid-cycle stuff. But the Grand Cherokee also comes with substantive changes: new eight-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode and an economical new diesel engine.
There now are nine GC versions, including a snorting, high-performance SRT model with a 470-horsepower, 6.4-liter Hemi V8 engine with all-wheel drive and the eight-speed transmission. At $63,990, it is the most expensive Grand Cherokee. Performance, including racetrack capabilities, emulates more expensive competitors like the M63 AMG from Mercedes-Benz.
But the heart of the lineup consists of the other eight. There are four trim levels in either rear drive or all-wheel drive: Laredo, Limited, Overland and Summit. Three engines provide the power: 290-horsepower 3.6-liter V6; 360-horsepower 5.7-liter V8, and a new 240-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 diesel.
The diesel delivers 420 pound-feet of torque, or low rpm twisting force. It gives the Grand Cherokee the grunt to tackle virtually any off-road situation, with the main limiting factor the approach and departure angles. This is, after all, a wagon that is nearly 16 feet long, not a rock-hopping Jeep Wrangler. At the off road introduction, front bumpers were removed to improve the approach angle.
Like other modern diesels, the Grand Cherokee's goes about its business unobtrusively. It starts instantly, and idles and cruises quietly. Unless they are informed in advance, few people would even know they were driving an oil burner.
The upside is a surge off the line and characteristic diesel fuel economy. On the tested 5,375 pound Grand Cherokee with all-wheel drive, it had an EPA city/highway mpg rating of 21/28 miles to the gallon. With rear drive, the rating is 22/30. The latter works out to a driving range of 730 miles.
The diesel is a $2,300-$4,500 option, depending on the model, but is not available on the $29,790 base Laredo. Towing capability is rated at 7,400 pounds.
A new wrinkle on some of the all-wheel drive models is a hill ascent feature. Many all-wheel drive vehicles now come with hill descent, which automatically controls the vehicle's speed on steep downgrades off road. The new Jeep system also chugs uphill with acceleration and braking automatically modulated. Unfortunately, the system was available only on V8 gasoline models.
All of the new Grand Cherokees with all-wheel drive come with a system Jeep calls Selec-Terrain, which consists of five choices for maneuvering on different surfaces. There's an automatic mode, along with settings for sand, mud, snow and rock.
The tested Grand Cherokee was the top line Summit with all-wheel drive and the diesel engine. With an as-tested price of $56,990, it was outfitted as well as many luxury cars, including a power rear lift gate, remote starting, automatic leveling bi-xenon headlights, 20-inch aluminum wheels, full-size spare wheel, rain-sensitive windshield wipers, memory power driver's seat, heated leather seats, power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, wood interior trim, and wood and leather steering wheel.
It also had full safety equipment, including adaptive cruise control, collision warning, rear backup camera and cross-traffic detection, hands-free communication, and navigation displayed on an 8.4-inch touch screen.
On the road, the tested Summit diesel cruised serenely, with little intrusion of wind, mechanical or road noise. The steering exhibited a solid on-center feel, although the high-performance SRT model's steering was a trifle wiggly in straight-line cruising.
Comfort for four was first cabin although, as is usual in the vast majority of vehicles these days, the center-rear passenger is disrespected with an unyielding, uncomfortable perch.
Model: 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit 4X4 four-door sport utility vehicle.
Engine: 3.0-liter V6 diesel, 240 horsepower, 420 lb.-ft. torque.
Transmission: Eight-speed automatic with manual shift mode, two-speed transfer case and full-time four-wheel drive.
Overall length: 15 feet 10 inches.
EPA passenger/cargo volume: 105/36 cubic feet.
Weight: 5,375 pounds.
Towing capability: 7,400 pounds.
EPA city/highway fuel consumption: 21/28 mpg.
Base price, including destination charge: $51,990.
Price as tested: $56,990.
